Listen Later

In this profoundly moving episode, I have the privilege of sitting down with my long-time dear friend, James Tennant, a seasoned yoga instructor, breathwork facilitator, and meditation teacher, whose journey from the depths of darkness to the heights of purpose is nothing short of inspiring.

James candidly shares his harrowing story of growing up in the shadow of addiction, navigating the tumultuous waters of self-doubt, low self-esteem, and grappling with other challenges himself. Despite the struggles he faced, James found solace and strength on the mat, discovering the transformative power of yoga, breathwork, and meditation.

Through over two decades of dedicated practice and teaching, James has not only found healing and liberation but also discovered his true calling—to guide others on their own paths of self-discovery and empowerment. His journey serves as a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with their own inner demons, reminding us that even from dark places or confusing times, the light of purpose can emerge.

Join us as James Tennant shares his profound insights, practical wisdom, and heartfelt experiences, offering a roadmap for healing, self-discovery, and the pursuit of purpose.

Whether you're seeking to overcome your own obstacles or simply looking for inspiration, this episode promises to uplift, empower, and illuminate your path forward.
